Hello,
I have a LDSME enabled server running on port 4840. I run another server which is also multicast enabled on port 4841. Now if I run the Find Servers on Network, I am able to see both the servers. This kindoff makes sense with the name of the service. And since both the servers advertise their services using mDNS records.
However, Theoretically, the server on 4841 should register to the LDS ME on 4840, only then the servers become discoverable right?
In my observation above, there was no registration with the LDSME done. Yet I could observe both the servers. May i please know how is that?
Regards,

Not sure what you mean by “server which is also multicast enabled”
Can you explain?

I mean, the server is also capable of mDNS. Both the servers are mDNS enabled

The LDS-ME advertises itself no matter what other servers are registered.
You will always see the LDS-ME + any additional servers registered with the LDS-ME.

Yes right, t the LDSME will advertise itself. If another server(also mDNS enabled) is present in the same network( and not registered to the LDSME) it still will be recognised by the client running FindServersOnNetwork service right?

Yes, all servers discovered via mDNS should be returned via FindServersOnNetwork.

Ok, then could you tell me the purpose of register server2 in multicast discovery? The reason i ask this is, irrespective of the server being registered to the LDSME,findServersOnNetwork would still produce the available servers? So far, I believed the purpose of registering the server is to make itself discoverable. However, since findServersOnNetwork recognises servers through mDNS announcements, it is confusing as to whether register server service is needed or not?
Sincere apologies if this question is very basic
